INSTALLATION TIPS
Capturing that exotic beauty when installing a Trex Transcend ® deck in tropical colo u rs is as easy as mixing and matching.
W hen installing any Trex decking product, especially Trex Transcend Tropicals, it is a good idea to mix and match all the boards on the job site prior to installation to ensure an appealing mix of light and dark tones. Installation Temperatures Please be sure to follow the temperature suggestions at installation to allow for the expansion and contraction of Trex WPC boards. Cutting Ends of Boards It's required that ends of Trex decking boards be cut to ensure a good square cut prior to installation. Refer to page 15 for additional information. Spanning Requirements Trex decking requires different joist spanning requirements based on load applications or deck orientation. Refer to page 10 for additional information. Gapping Requirements Trex decking requires product to be gapped at installation to ensure proper spacing for expansion and contraction. Refer to pages 14-18 for additional information. Special Requirements When Using Trex Hideaway ® at Abutted Deck Boards When using the Trex Universal Hidden Fasteners or Trex Elevations ® Hidden Fasteners where the ends of two deck boards meet (abutted ends), it is critical to use these fasteners in the proper way.
